Country: Australia Region: Coonawarra Vintage: 2016 Varietal: Shiraz Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Katnook Estate Description:Katnook Estate is one of the most esteemed domains in Australia's premier red wine district, Coonawarra. Its vineyards, planted in prime Terra Rosa soil, span 330 hectares in the heart of this comparatively small and remote region in the south east corner of South Australia. From here come red wines that have contributed to Coonawarra's international reputation and white wines with equally distinctive attributes. Wines produced include both the Riddoch range and that named after the place itself, the prestigious Katnook Estate range. Katnook Estate Tasting Note: The Founders Block Shiraz appears deep ruby red with purple edges, with concentrated black fruit, underlying ripe red fruit, locked in with black pepper, smoke and hints of liquorice on the nose. The palate overloads with voluptuous raspberry and blackberry fruit, warm peppery spice with textured dark chocolate, silky smooth, finishing full and long with even more dark fruit and creamy oak characters. Please allow to-breathe and would be best served with BBQ ribs or Beef. Excellent and very rich. Food Matches: Fillet Steak, Hard mature cheese, Rib-Eye Steak, Roasts
